The Queen Returns—And She's Unforgiving

Evelyn had already figured out, when Maria called her, that Lucas wanted to build a new home for Tiffany-and that he had demolished their marital home to do it.

After all, that house was in a prime location in Clementon. It was perfect in every way.

Sebastian could not help but frown. "He brought her to the marital home that you guys lived in for three years. Is he planning to ask her to move in?

"It looks like Lucas is even more desperate to get a divorce than you are."

Evelyn looked away. "He tore down everything inside, so the renovation should take a few months."

At that moment, they were probably at the stage where Lucas let Tiffany, the future lady of the house, decide on the renovation style.

"How heartless he is. Even people who had a cat or dog for three years wouldn't become so emotionally detached." Sebastian sneered.

Evelyn shook her head. She did not want to care about these things.

She stayed behind for a while longer to work overtime at the office that night.

At the moment, the project was progressing in an orderly fashion. It was time for Evelyn to put her application for the master's program on the agenda.

At 8:00 pm, Evelyn received a call from Michael.

Michael had been the one to contact her ever since Lucas changed his number.

Thinking that matters related to the divorce had to be taken care of, Evelyn did not ignore the calls from Michael.

She answered the call and asked, "What does he want?"

A deep and cold voice replied, "It's me."

Evelyn was taken aback. "What can I help you with?"

"You planted some jasmines in the back garden of our marital home. Do you plan

to take them with you?" Lucas asked calmly.

It was only then that Evelyn remembered the flowers she'd planted.

Margaret had been taking care of the house ever since Evelyn moved out.

Because of her health scare, Evelyn had been dealt quite a huge blow back then. That was why many of the things that she had meticulously done up were still sitting in the marital home untouched.

She had planted those jasmines even before she got married. She had poured her heart and soul into growing them too.

"I'll come and get them." Evelyn immediately made up her mind.

Lucas had thrown away her laptop the last time. This time, he tore down their material home, and he even wanted to move those jasmines away. It seemed like he was going to change everything about the house, even those on the outside as well.

Because of the incident with the laptop, he asked her about the jasmines in advance this time.

"There's no need to come over," Lucas rejected calmly.

As soon as Evelyn frowned, he said, "I had them removed and delivered to Grant Manor this afternoon. You can collect them there."

Evelyn's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was cold and distant as she said, "I'll drive over now."

Lucas probably did not want her to set foot in their marital home again.

After all, it was to start his life anew with Tiffany, and he changed everything from the inside out. If Evelyn were to head over, the future lady of the house, Tiffany, would probably be unhappy.

"Alright. Drive safe," Lucas said in a husky voice, and he immediately ended the call. There was no extra communication at all.

Evelyn looked at Michael's number displayed on her phone.noveldrama

Of course, she could tell that Lucas was keeping a distance. He got a new number, yet he would not call her with it. Perhaps he did not wish to exchange numbers with her or have anything to do with her anymore.

However, what Lucas had in mind was none of her business anymore.

Evelyn quickly packed up her things, grabbed her purse, and went downstairs.

It would take almost 40 minutes for her to drive to Grant Manor. Fortunately, there was not much traffic on the way over.
